No way we get anything at PSX/PGW right seeing how it's not marketed by Sony?
Most probably not on a Sony show.

I'd expect Bandai Namco to release a reveal trailer during those days, though

Maybe on The Game Awards?

Where does the "6 remaining" talk come from?
I guess speculation over their reveal schedule.

Last month we had Tien and Yamcha

This month we are getting Nappa and Ginyu

The games releases on February
 
Does that mean that you have to play as another character for the rest of the match?
And in that case, will you keep Ginyu's moveset anyway?

In the Budokai series, when you transferred, you took the person's movesets. It was a complete transfer of every thing.

Who knows how Arcs is gonna do it though.

I do think there will be more than 6 more. Yeah these last two months have only been two at a time, but the previous month was 4 at once for gamescom.

If it is 6 more (2 per month), I think it shakes out like this:

November - Adult Gohan and Videl

December - Kid Buu and Gotenks

January - Beerus and Hit


BUT, at Jump Festa in December they can easily reveal 3 or 4 at once, giving us 1-2 more characters.

I think if there's only 6 more then Black definitely doesn't make the base roster.

Oh, i see.

My opinion is that Ginyu should keep his moveset while also losing some strenght, because that would be the most logic thing (also the most faithful to the anime, if i recall correctly...?). That would be super cool.

But i'm 100% sure that the move will just switch everything, because adjusting every single other character model and their meticulously handcrafted lightning to his animations would be an unnecessarily huge amount of extra work.

Normally I would expect that the players switch characters completely, because making every character have Ginyu's attack animations would be a ridiculous request.

However, this Ginyu calls in the Ginyu force for attacks. This has the possibility of maybe keeping the normals of the switched character, but replacing that character's specials with the Ginyu force, since no models would have to be changed for that.

I still expect it will be a complete change, but no way to know until we see it in action.
 
I'm not even gonna be surprised if they reveal losers like Raditz at this point.

He's the one Extreme Boutoden character I don't think will make it over. That game is what I've been basing my predictions on primarily so far lol

but I'm also taking to heart that they're really not trying to have too many clones in the game.

I think Gotenks and Kid Buu are next

Nah. Just expect tbe 3ds roster


Same lol.

So far the rosters are entirely 1:1 save for Tenshinhan and Yamucha who were assists in that game.

I doubt it. These two have some unique things going on with their movesets, and I can't think of Raditz getting anything like this.

Arcsys prioritizes gameplay variety, Raditz isn't high on that list.
 
..How will they play it off when Super Saiyan Goku LV3 fights against yamcha or a lower tier character like 3 eye dude?

Will they have VS comments, like " I will lower my fighting level, so we can go head to head"

Or will they add weights to Goku or something?

But Nappa's got a body count, something most characters that aren't in the game don't have. Nappa was killing shit.

they won't bother in versus probably. no one would care.

I doubt it. I think that's why the game is a 3v3 though, to make lower level characters fighting hire level ones seem more fair to that point of view. Though ultimately it shouldn't matter in a fighting game. They've never really needed to address it in any other DB fighting game though, so they wouldn't now.

People are saying this/making the comparison. But I don't think it's true at all. We already have Tien, Yamcha, and Android 16... all of which weren't in the 3DS game. And possibly Android 21 as well. Plus, we won't be getting base forms for Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta.

The characters that are in both are just kinda obvious and would be in any DB fighting game except for Nappa and Ginyu. Who, while both not guarantees, still make sense and aren't exactly obscure.

Fighting games never take the canon power levels when it comes to the roster otherwise they won't work.

Case in point, Cody should be the strongest character in SF4 but instead the weakling with a skateboard Yun is.

Sounds like a straight up swap - they get Ginyu, you get their character, both characters keep the existing HP.

That's an absolutely hilarious concept.
 
If Radditz was in he would have gotten announced before these two.

Raditz getting in before Hit.

Hit was only an assist in EB. SORRY

Radditz was a full ass character son.

Classics only in ArcSys. Please buy Xenoverse 2 on the Nintendo Switch.

But Nappa's got a body count, something most characters that aren't in the game don't have. Nappa was killing shit.

I tried to tell yall. My boy fought almost the entire announced roster AT THE SAME DAMN TIME. There's no way he wasn't getting in this.

No one cares to be blunt about it.

That's not how fighting games work. Otherwise Cody in Street Fighter would be beating the fuck out of everyone that isn't Shin Akuma, Gill, Oro and maybe 2 others.
Beerus being all nonchalant and not being actually KOED, but leaving due to being bored by the fight, could add to his personality.

Ah, cool.
Maybe I thought they would consider a ratio system similar to capcom vs snk.

No one cares to be blunt about it.

hahaha, I kinda do :/ I dunno why but it kinda bothers me- just a tiny , tiny bit,
adding a stupid comment like "I'll adjust my power level to yours" (something better than this of course)
or again CAP VS SNK ratio system would have been rad. (maybe)

You don't have to tell me. On the first page of this thread I was one of the only people saying Nappa and Ginyu. I was arguing with dudes about their inclusion but people brushed me off. Now they're in the game and I'm not surprised, it is what it is.

Nappa's just horribly underestimated. The guy was one of the original "omg he's so strong he's taking on everyone what will we do" characters.
